Evening all,
Ok so i decided to give my engine bay a good clean down yesterday and decided while i was at it to clean the throttle body, it was full of black oily dried in gunk and sorta needed it badly.
I used nothing but a dry cloth, no cleaning products/water etc.
While i was at it, i gave the air filter a quick blast of the hoover, when done i replaced the filter housing, cold air feed and basically put it all back together the way it was in the first place.
Today, i notice the car is a little more responsive and a tad bit better with the petrol! happy days...... so you would think?
Went out to get the paper about an hour ago and when i come out from the shop the car starts up as normal, but then the 'check engine' light and the 'trc' light starts flashing like crazy, and i notice the car is actually alot worse then it originally was!
Its like its chugging, struggling to meet the idle revs, or firing on 5 cylinders?
Ive no idea whats caused the problem, im just hoping it wasnt something ive done, and tbh with the cost of bringing it to a lexus dealer im praying it can be detected or i can be pointed in the right direction as to what i should be looking for?
My mate has a diagnostics machine thingy but wont get a chance to get to me with it for a couple of days so im really stuck!
Please tell me someone here my be able to help
